3 Innovations for Hard-to-Clean Surfaces

Several weeks ago I attended a preview of the International
Home and Housewares Show (IHA) that's taking place in early March in Chicago.
The exhibit gave me a sneak peek at some of the newest products launching in
the coming year. Among all the appliances, gadgets and gizmos, I was very happy
to see some innovative household cleaners that claim to address the problems
other products can't handle. Here's what caught my eye.

Bona, the company known for its hardwood floor cleaning mops
and formulas, is introducing Pet Stain Remover (left). What makes this new solution different is that it
not only cleans but also kills the odor-causing bacteria other cleaners miss. Once
you eliminate the odors trapped in the floor's finish, pets are less likely to
soil the area again.

The next products that intrigued me are from a line of new
cleaners from DuPont. Last year we
evaluated DuPont's

formulas
will effectively remove tough bathroom soils without harming or degrading the
stone. This is great news and a long overdue innovation for anyone who's
upgraded a bathroom with marble or granite!

Based on what I've seen so far it looks like this year's IHA
Show is going to be an exciting one. Stay tuned for my upcoming blog posts
about the cleaning, storage, and organizing innovations I find there!
